Annabels Lament by Paul Shapera 




        Annabels Lament






[Intro] Bb F Eb
       Gm F Eb

Bb                 F
Ghosts of dreams, ghosts of memory
      Eb
That will not leave or lay in quiet
Gm               F
Ghosts that cry about the life
     Eb
You let go by

Bb             F
Ghosts of pasts of little girls who
Eb    
Learned their math, grasped their facts
Gm                   F
Tried their best to reach success
         Eb
Just as they were asked

     Bb                 F
The girl learns to hide, deep inside
     Eb
Of fractions and facts and worlds of math
   Gm                       F
A long lonely land she can understand
Eb
Annabelle in Numberland

                Bb
You could have been my angel
 F              Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and been with me
             Gm
Could have been my angel
F               Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and rescued me


[Interlude] Bb F Eb
           Gm F Eb


Bb            F
Ghosts of love you never knew, you
 Eb
Just construed like well penned plays
Gm                    F
Ghosts of scenes, embraces, things
     Eb
You only knew in dreamt up days

Bb              F
Ghosts of frowns for little girls when
Eb  
Friends came round to waste her time
Gm              F
Ghosts of creeds, rebukes received
         Eb
Children are not what achievers need

Bb                  F
Fractions and maths, sweet companions,
Eb
Equations and facts who always stand
Gm                 F
By as you go your road alone
Eb
Annabelle in Numberland

                Bb
You could have been my angel
 F              Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and been with me
            Gm
Could have been my angel
F               Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and rescued me


[Interlude] Bb F Eb
           Gm F Eb

Bb              F
Ghosts of me, ghosts of who
Eb
I could be and been with you
Gm              F
Ghosts of dreams, of who you thought
       Eb
You'd one day be when you grew up

Bb               F
Ghosts of breath, of little girls
      Eb
Who promised, stressed they'd be their best
Gm                   F
Ghosts of days that fade away
     Eb
As failure holds your hand til Death

    Bb               F
And deep in the place you escape where
Eb
Theorems and thoughts your hopes and plans
Gm                    F
All are derailed and then you failed them
Eb
Annabelle in Numberland

Bb                  F
Liquids and labs, fractions and facts,
           Eb
Is all you had, all that you understand
    Gm               F
And as you age, all that remains with
Eb
Annabelle in Numberland

                Bb
You could have been my angel
F               Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and been with me
                Gm
You could have been my angel
F          Eb
My angel, been my angel and rescued me
Bb         F
My angel, my angel
Eb
My angel and been with me
Gm        F         Eb
My angel, my angel
